>Horsehair brush ($10-15)
>Wooden shoe trees ($10-15)
>Light conditioner like Lexol/Bick4/renovateur
>Heavy conditioner (if you live in terrible snow/rain areas) Sno seal/Obernauf LP
>Don't forget that boots need time to dry properly, rotate them and rest them
How do I deal with x stain?
>mud: allow it to dry then brush off
>salt: water and cloth as soon as possible
>saturated wet: allow the boot to dry for a full day, stuff with newspaper
>scuffs and scratches: buff vigorously with horsehair brush
>Should I buy turdsdays/soloshits/doc shitans?
No they are filled with synthetic materials aimed at instant comfort but will not hold up to actual use.
>b-b-but muh ecelebs on youtube said they're good
no. you will waste your time and money and still have uncomfortable footwear at the end of the day. spend the extra $100 and get something real.
>Are Thursdays any good?
no.

How come combat boots are not more popular among classic bootmakers?

The closest thing to a boot that fits my feet are hightop sneakers. Boots are too stiff for my skinny legs.

Should I buy black Chelsea boots to go with 527 black Levi bootcut jeans? I initially wanted cowboy boots, but since I'm European I figured it would be too larpy and also too impractical/not comfortable... I thought about buying Thursday, but maybe there are better or cheaper brands?
